A series of water dispersion polyurethanes dispersions (PUDs) were prepared by polyaddition reaction using isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), poly(oxytetramethylene) glycol (PTMG), dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA), and triol (trade name FA-703). Various formulations were designed to investigate the effects of process variables such as TDI and FA-703 on the physicomechanical properties of PUD. IR spectroscopy was used to check the end of polymerization reaction and characterization of polymer. Evolution of the particle size distribution, contact angle, T g , molecular weight, viscosity, and mechanical properties of the emulsion-cast films were significantly affected by variable content of TDI and FA-703. Average particle size of the prepared polyurethane emulsions and contact angle decrease with increase of content of FA-703 and TDI. Molecular weight, T g , tensile strength, tear strength, hardness, viscosity and elongation at break increase with increase of content of FA-703 and TDI. The increase of molecular weight, tensile strength, tear strength and elongation at break properties are interpreted in terms of increasing hard segments, chain flexibility, and phase separation in high content of FA-703 and TDI-based polyurethane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
